Testimony Shows Only Cops Disorderly
NEW YORK.-Students filled the courtroom at 455 W. 151st Street yesterday afternoon as the trial continued of the students arrested when a gang of police broke into Room 126 and attacked a meeting of the Liberal Club held in protest the political dismissal of Prof. Oakley Johnson.
Although the evidence of the prosecution clearly showed that the meeting was orderly until the police attacked, the judge refused to dismiss the charge of disorderly conduct.
The defense put two witnesses on the stand yesterday, City College students, who testified that Sergeant Malone distinctly told the students that they could use Room 126 and that the meeting was orderly.
Taub, I.L.D. attorney, pointed out that in the first time in the history of the U. S. that police took control of a college and decided when students could or could not meet.
The trial will continue today at 1:30 p.m.
